I even thought the cartoon was just too silly as a little kid! the comics are great, and even hold up fairly well today...

I loved the toon as a kid and I put it in for nostalgia's sake sometimes but as a whole, I think it's quite ridiculous. I remember watching the animated movie when I was 10 and thinking it was way too wacky for my taste. Although the opening battle scenes are bad-A$$!! | |

| | Cobra Soldier Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Central OH Posts: 73 | Cartoons. I started reading the comic at issue #17, got a subscription starting at issue #27 but it couldn't touch the cartoon in my mind. I watched the first mini-series when it first aired on Saturday mornings when I was 8. I watched it over and over (it was repeated quite a bit and I would curse Johnny Quest when it would replace Joe for a few weeks) until the second mini-series and then when it moved to weekdays. One of my fondest memories as a kid was sitting through all the Saturday morning cartoons (even watching the frigging Smurfs with my sister so I would get my turn) until 11:00 for the grand finale which was the Joe cartoon. | |

| | Cobra Peeping Tom Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: CA Posts: 1,166 | I grew up watching the cartoon and reading the comics at the same time. I guess I'm more of a visual person, so I have to say Cartoon because it was easier for my brain to comprehend HA. But comics for the realism.

| | Crimson Guard Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 2,162 | i grew up with both however i thought the comics offered a much richer experience for many reasons. the comics offered stories with deep background and much more detail in a media which is breif to say the least. in the short time it took to read the comic your mind and imagination were taken much father than the cartoon ever did(minus the mini series story arcs). i would go over each comic several times to both rear, reread and examine the imagery. | |
